ORNAMENTAL BACK r012 FIRE-PLACES.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. JACKSON, ofthecity of New York,-in the county and State of New York, have invented anew and improved Ornamental Back for Open Fire-Places; and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descrip;tion-thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make anduse the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing formingpart of this specification.

The object of this invention is to construct an ornamental back andsides for open fire-places, which may be inserted in the saidfire-place, and forming the back of a grate, as may be required, andthus relieve the eye from looking onablackened soapstone as now used ina handsomely-finished fire-place, the construction of which will befully understood from the following description.

Figure 1 represents a front view of my improved back for fire-places.

Figure 2 is a sectional plan view of the same, showing it attached toone of the sides. Similar letters of reference indicate correspondingparts.

In this case the letter A represents a frame of castiron or other metal,the said frame being cast witha diamond or other pattern in whichcolored tiles or designs, B,'may be set. y

The letters 0 represent hooks cast on the flange of the sides of theback, for the purpose of looking into corresponding hooks on the sidesD, as shown in fig. 2.

The faceof the castings is enamelled, thus giving the back and sides ofan open fire-place a handsome finish, which will be in keeping with, andadd to the beauty of a first-class fire-place.

Having thus described my invention,

' What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Lettors Patent, is-- Anornamental back and sides for open fire-places,

consisting of a cast-metal frame, enamelled on its face
